The correct answer is option D: Iron containing to maximize the production of ammonia from

Explaination
Video Solution:
In the Haber's process, which is used for the
industrial production of ammonia (N H3 ​), the
catalyst typically used is iron containing small
amounts of promoters such as molybdenum (Fe-
Mo catalyst). This catalyst is crucial in facilitating
the reaction between nitrogen (N2 ​) and
hydrogen (H2 ) to form ammonia (N H3 ​).
Here’s a brief explanation of why this catalyst is Q30 Video Solution:
used:

1. Catalytic Role: Iron alone can catalyze the

reaction, but the addition of small amounts of
molybdenum (or other promoters like
potassium oxide) enhances the efficiency of
the catalyst. It helps in improving the
Q31 Video Solution:
selectivity and activity of the catalyst, making
the process more efficient.
2. Reaction Mechanism: The Haber's process
involves the reversible reaction between
nitrogen and hydrogen under high pressure
and moderate temperature in the presence of
the catalyst: N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2N H3 ​The
catalyst provides active sites where the Q32 Video Solution:
reactants can adsorb and react more readily,
thereby increasing the rate of ammonia
formation.
3. Practical Considerations: Iron is chosen as the
base metal for the catalyst due to its cost-
